Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a membership–based, IRS–approved 501 (c) (3) nonprofit research and educational organization. Our mission is 1) to treat conditions for which conventional medicines provide limited relief—such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), pain, drug dependence, anxiety and depression associated with end-of-life issues—by developing psychedelics and marijuana into prescription medicines; 2) to cure many thousands of people by building a network of clinics where treatments can be provided; and 3) to educate the public honestly about the risks and benefits of psychedelics and marijuana.
Heavy Cannabis Use & Pregnancy
Comparing the heavily exposed and the non-exposed infants, the Brazelton clusters on day 30, showed that the offspring of heavy-marijuana using mothers had significantly higher scores on:
- orientation
- autonomic stability
- reflexes
- habituation to auditory and tactile stimuli, and to animate auditory stimuli
- higher degree of alertness
- capacity for consolability
- less irritability
- had fewer startles and tremors
- better physiological stability at one month
- required less examiner facilitation to reach an organized state
- more socially responsive
- the quality of their alertness was higher
- their motor and autonomic systems were more robust
- they had better self-regulation
- they were more rewarding for caregivers than the neonates of non-using mothers at one month of age
